Avoid Breakage and Maintain Shine: A Glass Blog

Hello, and welcome to my glass blog. My name is Phillip. Ever since I got a degree in ancient studies and began to look at some of the early inventions developed by the Mesopotamians, I have been interested in glass.

In this blog, I plan to cover all of the aspects of glass I can think of, and I hope you enjoy the posts.
